"Burn down your cities and reeve our farinS and your cities will dpring up again as if by magic; but destroy ou r. farms and the grass wilfgrow in the streets of every City in ' . the country," William Jennings Bryan once said. It .1s just another way otsaying that When agriculture prospers, so does everybody else. I followed art American car fer a few miles the other day with an Ohio licence plate. A bumper sticker proclaimed -that Farming is Everybody's Bread and Butter, It surely is. At a time when the, world is experiencing its greatest population growth. when the supply of food in the -world;, should be doubled, farmers are facing the toughest times since the Great Depression. Bankruptcies have increased phenomenally. Farmers are being- forced to sell off stock to • pay interest on bank loans. This makes for less production next time around. The raniffications of these things haven't hit home on this continent yet. But they will. It couldn't be happening at a worse time. It has been mentioned before in this column, almost to the point of boredom: A hungry man when he sees his children starving with bloated bellies aiarbakilitids is a desperate man. A desperate man will kill for his family. Much more grain is available in Canada this year and there are fewer hogs to eat it. In the five major grain producing and exporting areas of the world, production is up 12 per cent but demand has inched up only one percent. In the rest of the world, recent data releases by the Canadian Wheat Board indicates production is dropping. Thel world wheat harvest is estimated at 447.5 million • "",,• 17,: hear you arrive- at first. My name is Exceptional Ed, you can call me Ed. Reporter - Thank you. Ed. Tell me, what is so urgent that I had to drop everything praying. Part of our difficulty with prayer comes from our need to use words when we pray. We' use words in prayer not because •God needs them but because we need them. We aren't letting God do anything. He knows all our needs. aspirations, deserved and sins . When we pray we must , be sure that we really want to be guided by God. Prayer, the only' kind that counts, takes much time and effort. You learn to pray by praying. Helen closed her devotion BY MURRAY ELSTON, M.P.P. (HURON-BRUCE) Thietweelt again saw more attention focused on SUNCOR. Opposition mem- bers again pressed for 'infor- mation to substantiate the benfits of the share purchase that will cost, almost S3 billion. Robert Welsh, the Energy Minister, held a special meet- jog for Government Members only. Six panelists from the accounting firms who sub- mitted reports to the govern- ment and members of the Ontario Energy Corporation answered questions of the Conservative 'backbenchers. This meeting vhs arranged even though Mr. Welch has maintained that the Legisla- ture• cold not have more information. , In addition, the Opposition led by Stuart Smith were able to have an emergency debate on thematter, which in itself shows that the members are concerned about the lack of information being made available to the legislature. ALTERNATE ENERGY years. FEDERAL BUDGET Friday. November 13. 1981 was a bad day for the Provincial Treasurer, who was questioned for almost the entire daily question period concerning Ontario's reaction to the federal budget. So far, Ontario has no definite re- sponses to problems that the Treasurer said are not suffi- ciently addressed in the Bud' get. The Treasurer has indi- cated that- there May be an Ontario mini-budget in the spring. .- veers Park members noteSuncor tonnes, (IOWA 'three million tonnes from forecasts in, JUky- Them AS has, gets.

It. is, says the wheat boitrd, an illustration of.how powerful the influence of the united' States is in the rest of the world.

It is a vicious. endless circie.And don't start placing the blame at the feet. of marketing-• boarerC especially quota-setting boards. Their prices are monitored so closely that the ripoffs, if there are any, are not being engineered by farmers. If you want a good example, look at chickens. You Went& think with a surplus of feed grains, prices for those grains would be lower. They aren't. Feed mills are charging about three per cent more this year for chick feeds than last year. The markup between what supermarkets paid processors and charged consumers was. about 23 cents in May Of last year. The markup by September had jumped to 42 cents a pound. That's an increase for supertnarkets'of 19 cents a pound in 16 months. Not bad even when you consider that their costs have not increased any more than that of farmers, yet they are getting the biggest hunk of the consumer buck at least on chickens. While many farmers struggle to make ends meet acid are producing more than ever, half the world starves and farmers 'are going broke. There's got to be something wrong.with the system. with prayer.

Chairman of the Mission and Services Committee, spoke on '.Mis- sions and Stewardship at the morning service , at Hensall United Church, on Sunday November 15.

The car; which was converted from .gasoline at a cost- comparable to the conversion` to propane (S1200 -11400), emits an exhaust of largely steam and_ nitrogen—No_ changes have to be merle to the engine at all. Equipped with a tank that givei the car a range of two 'hundred miles,' the use of hydrogen appears to be a valuable alternative fuel for the future. This is especially the case when facilities in our riding offer the opportunity to produce hydrogen for fuel purpodes. CANADIAN ADMIRAL The closure of Canadian *Admiral has cost 'Ontario One of the causes of .the shutdown, it is charged, was the stripping of the comp- any's treasury.

Opposition members have pressed the Minister of In- dustry to look into employ- ment problems. and request- ed the Minister of Consumer and Commercial Relations to study the financial trans- actions' which led to Ad- miral's downfall.
